About Venue

Located beside the Grand Union Canal in Paddington, Grand Junction is a spectacular Grade I listed events venue housed within the beautifully restored St Mary Magdalene Church. Combining Victorian Gothic architecture with contemporary event facilities, the venue provides an exceptional setting for conferences, gala dinners, product launches, exhibitions, fashion shows, concerts and exclusive corporate events in West London.

Following a multi-million-pound restoration, the venue has been transformed into one of London's most distinctive cultural and events destinations while preserving its magnificent architecture, painted ceilings and stained-glass windows. Alongside the impressive Nave, the venue also offers the atmospheric Undercroft and a contemporary Studio space, creating a versatile collection of spaces for events of all sizes.
